Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We photograph tile fields, hips and ridges to identify cracked or displaced tiles, deteriorated bedding/pointing and ridge movement. These issues commonly cause wind-driven rain entry on 2-storey roofs and can be difficult to see from ground level in Caulfield North streetscapes.
We capture close-up images of valleys, apron flashings and junctions where older roof sections meet extensions. These transitions are common in Caulfield North renovations and are frequent leak points if laps are poor, sealants have failed or debris is trapping moisture.
We inspect gutters and box gutters for debris build-up, ponding indicators, corrosion and sagging sections, plus whether overflows appear obstructed. Effective drainage is critical on 2-storey homes because overflow can run into eaves, down internal walls or behind fascia.
We photograph flashings around chimneys, skylights, vent pipes and any rooftop services to look for lifting edges, gaps, rust, and poor detailing. Penetration points are high-risk areas for moisture entry, particularly where older materials meet newer additions.
We look for signs of impact, slipped tiles, dislodged ridge caps and damaged guttering consistent with wind events and falling branches. In Caulfield North, overhanging trees can contribute to localized damage that isn’t obvious until water gets into the roof space.
Your report includes labelled images showing the location of observed defects and the likely consequence if left unattended. For buyers, this makes it easier to brief a roofer for quotes; for owners, it helps prioritise repairs before the next heavy rain.

Yes. Many Caulfield North period homes use terracotta tiles that can crack or shift over time, and walking on them can cause further damage. A drone roof assessment allows us to photograph tile condition, ridge capping, valleys and flashings up close from multiple angles. You get clear evidence of slipped tiles, failing pointing, and debris build-up without putting weight on fragile roofing.
We target the areas that most often leak or fail: tile fields, hips and ridges, valleys, gutters/box gutters, and flashings around penetrations such as chimneys, skylights and vent pipes. We also look for storm-related damage, blocked drainage points and signs of ponding. Findings are documented with annotated photos so you can act on them quickly.
Yes. Caulfield North homes often have mixed rooflines from renovations, including junctions where older and newer roofing meets. We plan a flight path that captures each section separately—main roof, extension areas, valleys, and transitions—so problems at laps, flashings and changes in pitch are easier to identify and explain in the report.
We do. Box gutters can be a key risk point on renovated 2-storey properties because they rely on clear outlets and correct fall. Using the drone, we photograph the gutter condition, debris build-up, suspected ponding areas, corrosion and overflow paths. If we see indicators of ongoing overflow or deterioration, we’ll recommend the next step, such as a roofer’s closer investigation or maintenance.
We only fly when conditions are safe and suitable for stable imaging. If wind or rain affects visibility, we’ll discuss rescheduling. We also plan the flight to focus on your roof and immediate boundary, capturing only what’s required for the assessment. If any area can’t be clearly viewed, we’ll note that limitation and recommend alternative inspection options.
